The drafting season has come and gone. Your fantasy training camp is over. You have your team. Your roster is set (or if you’re a mad man like me, its dozens of teams and rosters).

Now it’s time to put the pads on and take some hits. Now you’re playing at full speed. Projecting takes a back seat to actual performance. Instead of finding the right player (and round) to select a fantasy stud, you are looking for the right week, the right matchup, to perfect your lineup.

You drafted particular guys to be your weekly starters. But you can’t overlook matchups. There is a fine line between being savvy with your lineup and overcoaching. But there is one late-round pick on our radar who warrants some Week 1 attention.

We’re counting on Chargers wide receiver Vincent Brown to fill in the gap left by Danario Alexander (torn ACL). He has a proven, albeit backsliding, quarterback in Philip Rivers. Though we expect plenty of interceptions from Rivers, we also foresee plenty of touchdowns. Someone has to catch them, and we’ve been burned too often by Malcolm Floyd, have no confidence in Eddie Royal, are a couple of years over our love of Antonio Gates, and we’re counting the seconds to the next injury to all-purpose running back Ryan Mathews.

That leaves Brown and scatback Danny Woodhead as our favorite fantasy options in sunny San Diego. Though Woodhead is at best a bye-week fill-in, Brown should be a matchup possibility. And this week, he’s got a nice one.

The Chargers open against a stout Texans team. We envision Houston grabbing control early, taking advantage of a turnover or two by Rivers & Co., building a lead … leading to some big-time garbage points for your fantasy Chargers. The Texans ranked 23rd last season in points allowed to opposing receivers, so Rivers should be able to move the ball and post a couple of meaningless scores. Figure a significant chunk of that will go to Brown.

We’re going to start him this week over, in particular, Steve Smith, who faces Seattle, last season’s toughest fantasy secondary.
